Cavity prevention services are specialized dental care programs designed to protect teeth from decay, strengthen oral health, and promote lifelong habits that reduce the risk of cavities. They combine professional treatments with patient education to ensure healthier smiles.
Cavities are caused by plaque buildup. When bacteria feed on sugars from food, they produce acids that erode tooth enamel.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste

Consider preventive treatments like sealants and fluoride applications
Yes. Children are especially prone to cavities because their enamel is softer. Sealants and fluoride treatments are highly effective for protecting their new permanent teeth.

At least twice a year for routine check‑ups. More frequent visits may be recommended for children or patients at higher risk.
